    59:13
    Goal for Team Russia! Just as the penalty came to an end the Russians ice it! Scrambling around for the loose puck VIKTOR TIKHONOV picks it up and hits the empty net just inside the German zone! It's 3-0! Assists- Artyom Anisimov
     
    58:20
    Barta! Found right at the left of the crease, Alexander Barta is denied from point blank range! Germany are giving it a real go!
     
    57:13
    And it's a six on four, Philipp Grubauer has been pulled in place of the extra skater already!
     
    57:13
    For interference Denis Denisov has been called into the penalty box giving the Germans a vital powerplay chance to get back into it!
     
    55:15
    Grubauer! Wonderful glove save from the netminder! Anton Belov with an absolute blockbuster of a slapper is somehow denied by Philipp Grubauer as he flashes leather!
     
    51:52
    Plotnikov! How didn't he score, it should be three! Sergey Plotnikov with the netminder slightly out of position has the goal at his mercy from the right of the crease, but he contrives to whip it high and wide!
     
    50:10
    Goal for Team Russia! They're settling into their game! SERGEY SHIROKOV cutting in from the left closes down from the high slot and unleashes a beautiful wrister that flies into the left hand corner! It's a wonderful goal and it's 2-0! Assists- Danis Zaripov and Artyom Anisimov
     
    45:07
    Burmistrov! Again Philipp Grubauer can't get a firm grip of the puck, a twisting Alexander Burmistrov takes it up and spins it just wide of the left hand post!
     
    43:58
    Goal for Team Russia! We've waited for some time but finally we have the breakthrough! With the netminder already flat out on his crease the puck pops out to VADIM SHIPACHYOV who clinically wrists home from the right! Powerplay goal and it's 1-0! Assists- Yegor Yakovlev and Sergey Plotnikov
     
    43:52
    For slashing Marcus Kink has been called and Russia have another great chance to get some dangerous shots on net
     
    39:47
    Just as Germany got back to full strength they've picked up another penalty, for high sticking Frank Hordler has now been punished. And there are just a few seconds left in the second period
     
    38:25
    Sergey Plotnikov for boarding though has already evened up the numbers
     
    37:22
    For slashing Frank Hordler of Germany has given the Russians a great opportunity to finally get something going
     
    27:01
    Yakovlev! Taking up the puck at the high slot Yegor Yakovlev takes his time, cuts to the left but his lethal wrister whistles over the bar! The goalkeeper would have struggled with that one!
     
    25:48
    Barta! Alexander Barta beautifully beats Yegor Yakovlev, bullies his way through one on one but he's denied by Andrey Vasilevskiy! The Russian goalkeeper is looking on his game tonight!
     
    24:48
    Kulyomin! The German defence loses sight of Nikolay Kulyomin down the left, his effort into the near post is stopped and just before Artyom Anisimov can tap home the rebound the netminder freezes!
     
    20:33
    Oppenheimer! Again he's the main German threat! Found at the doorstep streaking in Thomas Oppenheimer can only one time the puck into Andrey Vasilevskiy! He's a really dangerous player!
     
    19:11
    Kulyomin! With the netminder slightly out of position the puck pops out to Nikolay Kulyomin, he takes it wide to the backhand but the goalkeeper just gets back in time!
     
    17:29
    The Germans are getting penalised for that though, for interference Alexander Weiss has received a two minute minor
     
    12:38
    We're already seeing a fair few penalties, now Evgeniy Medvedev for tripping is the guilty party
     
    10:24
    Germany now have their first penalty against them, Marcus Kink in a controversial call has been called for hooking. But Moritz Muller in the same play has also been called for hooking, so it's a Russian five on three powerplay!
     
    08:13
    Tikhonov! Holding the puck away from his opponents Viktor Tikhonov drives in on the left, carries with his backhand but his effort smacks into the near post!
     
    06:07
    Oppenheimer! Anton Belov really poorly gives away the puck by his own net, Thomas Oppenheimer takes control of it, winds up from the high slot but he's denied by Vasilevskiy's blocker!
     
    05:07
    Rieder! Great chance there for the Germans to go ahead! Found from behind the net completely unmarked on the doorstep, Tobias Rieder can only poke right into Andrey Vasilevskiy's chest! That was a clear opening!
     
    04:27
    We have the first penalty of the evening and it's against Russia, Denis Denisov for holding has been penalised
